@Hawkee
All my snippets seem broken now in one line.
http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/6807/
I don't like the new layout; it seems like less is happening and there is less information than before.

@Hawkee BTW, I plan to stay with IE8 until probably Windows "NINE" SP1 comes out so I will be the one finding all the IE8 bugs and I am most likely half of the 2.5% of the visitors using IE8 since I connect from LOTS of different IP addys. When not using IE8 I mostly use the newest FF version on whatever platform I am on. I use the newest FF on windows as a backup to IE8 when some site screams at me or I want to steal youtube video.

@Hawkee oic.. is this like a 'twitface' feature? Will we have hashtags next? Like #I'mSofaKingLost
Having never done twitter or facebook how do I keep track of a conversation? Is the @user-name feature like a private message? Where is a tutorial for this new way of doing things for those of us who have no interrest in twatter.com or faceplant.com?

@Turner - Yes, that is not the purpose of this snippet but if you do away with the if statements and their closing brackets it could be made to do that.
Something like this:

Wut you talken' 'bout Willis!?

Okay, my totally off topic question is about the movie John Carter and why every english word maps to martian except the names of planets.

If you only need like a handfull do as Yawhatever explained.
If you needed like 20 or so then I would change the
line: if $istok(badident Guest,%ident,32) {
to: if $istok(%badident,%ident,32) {
then: /set %badident badident1 badindent2 etc3 etc4
Also, at this point I would add some simple scripting to
make these changes easier/quicker.

If it became necessary to have say 50 or more badidents
then I would think about storing them into a text or ini file
and maybe loading them into hash for quicker response.

It is possible to trigger an email script with a line right after the 'noop' line.
If however, you mean to send an email to the nickname being kick/banned
then that would be very improbable on most servers with most users.

Aha2Y - Where should I keep shortcuts to my project files and folders?

I do not understand why people are afraid of having shortcuts to files and folders on their desktop. You have sorta thrown away your best productivity tool by not using it for its designed purpose. Wallpaper and other blinky lights and such are really just toys. Maybe to break your habit of thinking the desktop is sacred you could use a simple textured repeating tile for awile and get used to making shortcuts and sending them to desktop with the 'sendto' menu option. These are not new concepts; I consider the understanding of the use of the desktop and shortcuts to be fundamental to computer literacy.

LoL there seems to be no bottom to the main page now!

Ricko,
I modified the code as shown so i could simply /define [WORD]
and it works so I'm suspecting you have other issues or are trying to
trigger your own 'on text' event which is impossible.

Ricko,
You need to be in a clone or another instance to trigger the 'on Text' event or ask another chatter to try to trigger it.

Hawkee,
Yes, I'm on IE8 mainly because IE9 bites the big one.
I also have FF11 installed but on windows IE is my 'goto'
I wish FF would handle search engines and favorites like
IE does. Strike that last comment before a holy war erupts... again...
Yes, you did get it fixed for IE8 and it looks great! I'm worried tho
how it will be when someone post 1,000 lines of code and the first
many lines are longer than the window and we have to scroll.
OIC, I can just click on the line and [key=>] over to it.
BTW, that one shows like lots of extra space after the longest
line that could make you feel like there is a long line hiding somewhere.
Don't mean to be overly picky but while we got you on this and it's
fresh in your mind best to give you feed back now I hope..

Note: I was fixing a gals computer and during the conversation she asked
me if i was on facebook and I replied, "no, I'm on Hawee.com which is like
facebook for computer nerds... instead of posting pictures of getting drunk
and writing goofy crap about snooky and the situation we post screenshots
of programs and code we create on our computers and write tutorials on
how to use and modify the code." I do not understand why but then she asked
me if I was seeing anyone to which I replied enthusiastically, "Not when I take
my medication!" I never did figure out why she had such an interrest in my
hallucinations.

sunslayer,
Nice! Thanks, I am needing some type menus about now.

Hawkee,
I like the new code blocks and hope you are thinking how to set the height/length
based on number of lines so you dont have a verticle scroll and not so much empty
space. A line or two more than needed would be nice up to like maybe one hundred
lines of code at which point you get the verticle scroll bar. Or much better would be
that the maximum size is about same as browser height as its tough to have to scroll
both ways if the code block is too much larger than available space. That part of the
original design was not really bad before. I do however like the addition of multiple
blocks exactly for code like what sunslayer posted here. Also of course the line numbers
are GREAT idea and will make referencing code sections easier. Syntax highlighting for
a seemingly infinite number of languages.... good luck with that... wouldnt want to be you..
LOL

Scakk,
Nice, thanks for sharing that, I may play with that some
in the future and I hope others will find it usefull also.

//me points at jaytea and shouts NERD ALERT! (for knowing back story on TMNT)

Scakk,
That's a great idea for $tip. But like you I also never get memos,
maybe a feature of always //nick $+(Guest_,$r(000,999)) lol...
Besides that I find most users can't negotiate the protocal or even
know it exist. Those of us who know about it are mostly in the lazy
and/or 'I'll just wait 'till that person is back live' camp. A MemoServ
addon script would be a nice feature for some groups of people if
made to be easy to use.

I would have just used user levels so you could put what you wanted but then I'd have to explain user levels too often and so I settled on just hard coding it. As always edit as you see fit.

I updated this to show message text with a means to trundicate the messaqe to 330 characters. Manually adjust as you see fit, just make sure you edit both those numbers. I think anything over like 500+/- will show the full message text. IRC protocal limits the packet size to like 512 Bytes (characters) if I recall properly.

Looks like Donatello after he retires from the TMNT, moves to florida and sits in the sun all summer drinking margaritas and smoking dope.

Python
The only thing that really changes with a registered version is that the nag screen doesn't come up on launch which makes it easier to auto-launch it from like the startup folder.

Quote: "... I have been a computer tech for over 10 years..."

You haven't been a good tech or you would know all major manufacturers
have stopped shipping reinstall disk about ten years ago or more, there
is a program provided to create a reinstall disk. A great tech can pull off
the multiboot windows with linux in their sleep and typically have a laptop
laying around with not only windows but linux and freebsd and format the
drive from the command line. Not to mention install to an SSD so it is
aligned along write boundaries using the same linux cli.

Also, any good tech can work in all the operating systems, I jump from
os to os with the frequency of a cheap ham radio. I used to suggest
mint for newcomers to linux moving from windows but now that its gone to
gnome 3 I don't know what to suggest anymore. I dislike apple the most
mainly because of the attitude of the users and their continued devaluation
of the word 'genius'. I see apple as free-bsd on pc hardware with a proprietary
gui that is the worse for multi-tasking. Apple is proof that if you act like you're
important and over-charge you can make a fortune off of people who know
nothing. (Next time an apple user is acting high and mighty ask them how
to fetch a webpage from the cli and grep out some data just to watch their
eyes glaze over.)

Bottom line the best gui is windows but the best cli is bash on anything else.
Windows powershell is a big pile of ugly, confussing, broke.
